Herb garden
Just got back from a local garden store with herb plants, pots and potting soil. That's right, I'm going to make a potted herb garden. This way I can plant herbs without having to break sod or dig holes, which could hurt my back. Additionally, the soil here is also very poorly drained, so any planting really needs to be done in either pots or raised beds (increasing the level of initial necessary effort). This way I know I'll plant at least a few things this year.
However, I did see that they were selling "raised bed kits", including pre-made frames and soil, for $90. That's very intriguing. Of course, the sod underneath the bed would still have to be removed, which I can't risk doing. It might be an option for next year, though. Or this year, I suppose, depending how badly Rob would like to have home-grown tomatoes.
